Hi Mike,

How's it going? Glad to see you're still around these parts.

Easy on the vocal chords, you don't want to have a blow-out.

I know it may sound odd, but I am having the best time with my Melodion. I bought it because the band I am in does a few reggae/Caribbean type songs and I thought it would make a nice addition to our sound, which is does. But the first gig that I played it at was with my jazz quartet. I decided to do Black Orpheus (Day in the life...) and ask the drummer to use brushes and start a medium bossa beat and told everybody else to lay out until the second chorus. The effect was very cool, the entire club went silent and watched because it was such an unusual sound. I ended up using the Melodion several more times that night.

Keep on playing and singing and have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

Best Regards,

Dave
